The Ebola River for which the disease is named is sensitive and doesn't like having horrible diseases named after it.
The best policy is to simply not name these sort of things until they appear in a Western nation somewhere. The media could refer to Ebola, for instance, as the Unidentified Tropical Wasting Syndrome until a nurse in Texas catches it, at which point may be named the Dallas Hemorrhagic Fever, or DHF.
Far more equitable and highly unlikely to incur the wrath of WHO.
